Moving the guitars forward in the mix paid off in spades for
Clutch, who continued with their familiar formula of mixing
Led Zeppelin and
Black Sabbath on their sophomore album. Without straying at all from its roots, the band adds a little more
funk to its sound à la
Primus, which makes for a more consistent set of songs than last time. Not to mention that the stars shine brighter than they did last time around:
"Spacegrass" alone should have become an instant classic, but following minor rotation on
hard rock stations, the song -- and the band with it -- was delegated a cult status, compared to the likes of contemporaries
Coal Chamber and
Korn.
